Harano's hatred for Lin Xiuzhen had always been sky-high. After all, he used to huddle in Takeshige Manor, hiding in the direct domain of the "Sixth Celestial Demon King" Oda Nobunaga, hoping to wait out the mountain fog and make it back to the modern day. But Lin Xiuzhen gave him a reality check, showing him that trying to coast by on historical knowledge alone, hiding in what you think is a safe spot, is useless. If you really want to survive, you have to rely on hard power.
He'd never forgotten this "favor," and even though Ah Man had dragged herself back from the jaws of death, his malice toward Lin Xiuzhen hadn't lessened much. At most, he no longer had to think about Ah Man's "final wishes," or hunt down every chicken the Lin Family owned—he could at least save a bit of time.
